Selaginella uncinata

 

Layouts containing this plant

 
 

Selaginella uncinata is a distinctive trailing moss fern prized for its shimmering blue-green foliage. The delicate leaves cover the stems densely, creating a lush carpet of colour that stands out beautifully among traditional green terrarium plants.

Its creeping growth habit makes it ideal for covering the substrate, softening hardscape elements, or adding depth to tropical terrarium layouts. Once established, it grows vigorously and may spread over neighbouring plants, but it responds well to regular trimming and shaping.

Easy to cultivate and highly decorative, Selaginella uncinata is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to introduce unique colour and texture into humid tropical environments.
